Speaking on his site UFO Sightings Daily, he said tourists caught the footage while on holiday in the area.

He bizarrely claimed the original object was not a meteor, saying: “The UFO streaks across the sky like a meteor, but then part of it shoots out another white orb and that orb travels in the opposite direction.

“It looks to me like the people who built the pyramids were doing a flyby to check on it.”
